On February 22, 2018, Frank Langston, a 55-year-old contract utility worker from St. Louis, was killed by a stray bullet while working as a cement truck driver at a Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District site near Fay Drive and Canyon Drive in Berkeley, St. Louis County. Langston was about half a block from a dispute when someone opened fire; he was struck in the lower body, taken to a hospital, and died the next morning.

Police investigations determined the shooting began as a targeted attack on a passing vehicle. A passenger in that car, 27-year-old William Dortch, was also shot and later pronounced dead. Authorities arrested 25-year-old Lonnell Lewis-Jones and charged him with two counts of second-degree murder, two counts of first-degree assault, and four counts of armed criminal action. Evidence at trial indicated Lewis-Jones and his brother fired repeatedly at the vehicle.

Lewis-Jones was convicted and given a sentence of life plus seventeen years. Does anyone have information about Frank Langston’s life or the events around Fay Drive and Canyon Drive that could shed light on this case?
